Los Angeles blew a two-run lead in the ninth and then won it in the 10th on Saturday when Matt Thaiss scored on Michael Hermosillo's bases-loaded sacrifive fly. It snapped a three-game losing streak for the Angels, who will try and keep it going against Josh James, who pitched three innings in his season debut and gave up three runs while walking five batters. The Angels are getting a good price in this matchup due to the possibility of Mike Trout not returning from paternity leave, but the Astros have looked no better than average in the early going. Play the Angels on the runline.
